But I didn't do that, I went, I took a big risk. It didn't pay off, but at least I can say I tried, and I learned some stuff that I can apply at the next party, if I decide to go, that is. So despite how I keep trying to defend the status quo, my decisions seem to indicate differently.
So let's assume for a moment that I do want to learn how to move out beyond myself, what comes next?

didn't pay off? what did you think it was to pay out?
Actually IMO it's paid out in spades... you're deconstructing it with the assitance of others to glean as much information and lessons out of it as possible.
